hello all,
I have two Cyrus IMAP server strictly identical. One with a local spool and another one with a private spool on a NFS server.
Don't use Cyrus over NFS. It's not safe. You *WILL* end up with corrupt mailboxes.
There might be some NFS Client+Server combinations that are safe, but since you've a Linux client I'm guessing your NFS server is also Linux, a known not-safe configuration. The reason is file locking doesn't' really work on NFS.
The Cyrus IMAP server are version 2.1.17-3 on Debian Sarge.
When I delete a mailbox (via cyradm for example), the mailbox directory is not deleted on the server with the NFS spool; but the content of the mailbox is deleted (including the cyrus.header, cache et index).
On the server with the local spool, the mailbox folder is correctly deleted.
Is this a known problem ?
